266 racing motorcycle rider autographs from the 1900s to the late 1990s, a remarkable collection held in 6 volumes in A-Z order from Duilio Agostini to Walter Zeller (full listing online), embracing 125, 250, 350, 500cc & sidecar champions, Brooklands, Grand Prix, T.T. and other race winners, talented privateers, forgotten heroes, engineers, record breakers, American, British, Commonwealth, European and Japanese competitors, every page with a mounted signature, many featuring signed photographs, competition notes and brief biographies; together with a large quantity of surplus signed correspondence and photos, plus unsigned relevant postcards and race photos, also some personal colour photos taken during 1990s reunion and revival events (qty.) Starting with Derek Minter in 1964, further signatures were obtained over the years by face to face request, before tracking riders addresses and writing to them enclosing an SAE. These riders were also asked if they knew of any other relevant addresses and some, like Alberto Pagani, were particularly helpful. Others were obtained from older friends and enthusiasts, while some were swapped for duplicates with other collectors.
